If you or someone you know is seeking wisdom and is brave enough to ask good, soul seeking questions about their own story… then PLEASE purchase this book. Morgan Snyder does an outstanding job at describing what God meant in Scripture when He created the heart of a man.

R. B. Snoddy: The overview of this book is strength help and power. There are so many good quotables, so many pieces of imparting wisdom. I highlighted, and read many parts of this book to others. It is more of a personal journey that is unfolded for the audience. There are only two reasons it does not get the five star treatment; many places there are run on sentences that need commas, or semicolons or hey, even a period. The second thing, the beginning of the book seems disjointed. I felt as if chapter four should have been chapter one. Also, he speaks of sage wisdom requested, I was waiting for an imparting, a clear literal list laid out. But it is more of a personal journey written. I believe the core, the real sense of the book is great but it is not; Wild At Heart. I would encourage anyone that has read this, read Wild At Heart.
Can it help build a king?, Yes, but more is needed.
Can it put good question in your life?, Yes, but more light is needed.
Is it challenging?, Yes, more for youngmen.
Am I blessed I read it?, No doubt.

Chewwy: I have purchased this book as I watch and follow Wild At Heart and love John Eldredge and the entire team. Morgan and his Wife Cherie are awesome and their podcast Good Soil is awesome and I highly recommend it if you haven't already listened in. They give great insight to the mind, body, soul and heart from a biblical stand point, but also dig deeper into the science behind our physiological responses to the world we live in, and the Father's design in us.
I am a female, and I know that this book and most of the podcast from wild at heart are 'geared towards men', but I feel like limiting the shared experience of being human in this fallen world as segregated into these concepts being something only men deal with as a huge disservice to not only the women but the men as well.
Having said that, I did buy this book as an exploration into understanding the struggle of what men deal with in their unique journey, as I think it is important for us (both men and women) to make an effort to understand one another.
However, women based books and podcasts in ministry fall seriously short in encompassing the multi-faceted struggle and desires of women and what makes us tick. We...

John Gerrard: This book is an absolute goldmine of
divine wisdom and practical truth!
The gold is Christ in us, the hope of glory
(Colossians 1:27). The gold, however, must be mined, and Morgan challenges Christian men to face the reality that we are as yet unfinished, and must press on to greater healing and sonship!
I highly recommend this work to any and all men everywhere who are hungering for an ever deepening relationship and walk with our heavenly Father alongside Jesus Christ, our brother and overshadowed yet in dwelt by the Holy Spirit.

Rev. David Crabb: Having been an avid follower of the Wild at Heart ministry for many years, as well as leading men's groups for over 33 years, my approach to Morgan's book was with a curiosity. Watching his contributions during the Wild at Heart video series, I was already impressed by his passion for the hearts of other men. The first thing to strike me about this contribution is the fact that Morgan has not rushed into writing this book. His passion for his own personal growth and spiritual formation is evidence of his authenticity, and as a 65 year old seasoned pastor, counsellor, pastoral supervisor and coach, I felt privileged to learn from someone who has clearly earned the right to speak into the hearts of the men of this AND previous generations. Thank you for this timely word.

John Fontaine: After just completing my first reading of Morgan Snyder's "Becoming A King" last night, I feel as if I've discovered a long, lost map to the ancient paths of masculinity - not the cartoon or buffoon masculinity of media, TV, or movies. One of the tenets that moved me deeply as I read this amazing and insightful work was that that author actually humbled himself - over decades - to seek out, ask questions and sit at the feet of, and learn from over seventy-five sages who had already found the map, sought out the ancient paths, and surrendered the building of kingdoms over the refining of their character as men of faith.
From experience, I know it takes deep wells of both courage and vulnerability to enter such a journey. It's definitely, as he says a few times throughout the pages, "...not easy, cheap, or quick." If the devastating stories of the #MeToo movement have revealed anything, it's that the world is desperate for men who are good, trustworthy, and able to handle power when it is time for them to have it. Wholehearted masculinity cannot be found in an app store, through Google, or anywhere near social media. It is a treasure hunt - and the author invites me and any...

Doug K.: What a treasure. A field guide. A compass. And a map. The message in this book is so hopeful - that men are good and that the world is in desperate need of good kings. Men who wield power and influence for the good of others, starting with their own world - wives, kids, work. This book needs to be in the hands and get into the hearts of every man. The author goes after the questions "Who have you become as a man?" and "Who are you becoming?". From the Afterword: "Above all else, this book is an invitation. It is an invitation into a process of becoming the kind of man to whom God can entrust his kingdom. The greatest revolution in human history began through 12 men saying yes to a personal invitation from the King of kings to recover the ancient path. It’s not easy, it’s not cheap, and it’s not quick.". Give up the easy, the cheap and the quick. Start with this book.

: From 20 years of sitting at the feet of elders, Morgan faithfully distills the wisdom he has gathered and delivers it in a beautifully romancing way, developing a framework for the restoration of the masculine soul. Both practical and soul orienting, each chapter is an alluring invitation back to the narrow path to become the kind of man that can Read more about review stating Restoration for the Masculine Soulbe entrusted with power in God's Kingdom.\n\nThis book has been a faithful guide for the past year and I couldn't recommend it more highly. It is a deep, rich well. Meditate on it, read and reread, and implement it in your life and day-by-day you will find yourself slowly being restored to the man God made you to be. This has been my experience so far.
